Community

Resources can be limited in small communities like Carroll County. Over the years, I have begun to understand that partnerships really help strengthen the foundation of many organizations. One of the great things about our community is how we can come together when needed. This can be in the face of adversity or rallying around a good cause. Partnerships have been the cornerstone of the Carroll County Public Library for many years.

Carroll County Parks and Recreation now have a fully functional website: carrollcountyparksandrecreation.org. This site is now the community’s best place to register for programs, get information about schedules, sign ups, volunteering, seasonal dates, and much more.
